There are several things that bug me about this photo, but not much I can do about it now. Didn't much feel like reshooting. No matter how I leveled it, either the sofa or lines in the floor were off. Used a light behind the sofa and it blew out a bit during contrast adjusments. And the shadow on the left I didn't notice until I had them up on the computer. And lastly, not really sure how "Fashion" this is considered to be but Oh well.

Congrats on a good finish - one better then mine. Good job, got alot more guts then me. You'll never find me in my shoots.
PS: You got me on my Sat outing, I had a long day of shoting pic's (ha...ha) and the weather did not move to go out. sorry, but I loved the pic's that you guys took. Tim :) Hey maby one day we will figure this out?
ah, the light behind the couch shot. Good attempt at a fashion cliche. IMO, you should have gotten more on the eye level of the model and cropped in the shot so that you don't get distracted by the couch....is the shot about the couch or the model?
I really like this. My one nitpick is the lighting where floor and wall meet, would be nice if it weren't so sharp. Maybe another softer light tucked under the back of the couch would work? I know you'd have fixed it with editing if you had been allowed to :)
This is one of the best ones. The chair being slightly crooked is frustrating though. If it were more it would be fine or if it were square it would be fine. Just one of those things. Nice shot though!
She looks a bit agitated. And try to even out the light a bit more so you don't get the shadows on the side of the couch. Otherwise, the light is nice on her.
Very nice....not exactly great fashion (square-toe boots? no way) but the photographic style is works for a fashion editorial. The kitchen-tile-looking floor and the big light colored knobby feet on the loveseat throw the high style quotient off a lot. Basically, I like the idea and mood--it just leaves something to be desired in regards to the style of the content.
great shot...I really like the pose and arrangement of garments. The boots are very nice and the sharp transition of the fishnets, which create a nice moire effect to the eyes. They then sensually draw in an arch fashion right to between the model's legs. But the use of the white button down abruptly covers with a tone of innoncence. Had the area just been exposure of undergarments it would lose a touch of innoncence and art that this photo has managed to capture nicely. The couch, garments, dark hair all give a good monochromatic feel.
My one issue is the pose/expression of the face. I don't feel it supports the shot well. It looks bothered, even angry. A longing pose, questioning expresion, a soft smile, almost anything would have been more complimenting of this photo's other assets. It is a wonderful shot, beautiful model. I think there may be too much tile in the forground. Remove 1/2 an inch.
I'd prefer a more landscaped format with negative space to one side, but maybe that wasn't possible for you. The central feature has been done very well though.
